10 Holy Haiku and Senryu Poems
Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)
Routing Evil:
Over plains ink prints
Tales of God routing evil.
Jesus finds and saves.
Passion Sunday:
The passion of Christ.
Jesus was hanged on a cross.
Truly this was God.
Blind Man:
A blind man washes
Clay in the pool of Siloam.
Now he see's the light.
Thirsty Israelites:
Thirst in the desert.
Moses taps water from rock.
They now drink refreshed.
The Transfiguration:
Peter, James and John
Are taken up a mountain.
Jesus does transform.
The Light of Jesus:
We bless our candles.
Light has come into the world,
His name is Jesus.
Be Perfect:
Be holy for God.
Have love for your enemies
As the perfect Christ.
Free in Christ:
Jesus came to free
Us from the power of sin,
Death and selfishness.
The Salt of the Earth:
Having mercy and
Pursued for God's righteousness.
You are now earth's salt.
The Walls of Jericho:
Walking by the walls.
On the seventh day it fell
With trumpets and shouts.
